Default Pintles

Ben, Thanks for the pintles today, very high standard. I found up an original ford canada retain lever, I heated up one of the straight type levers you supplied with the pintles and curved it round to match.

Tomorrow at work I will raid the stores to look for the odd size retain pin, I will get some BA cheese head set screws, and split pins.

If I get lucky and they have some pins that match I will make some pins sets up if people need them

The springs I will make from spring steel, best to drill the two holes first in a flat piece and profile out the spring shape (drill bit tends to wander on this metal).

Lynn - Will take pictures of the steering wheels tomorrow, we dragged them out of the garage today.

Thanks Ben, kevin.
